Your Rights Under the MISSION Act

🚨 Critical Pitfall: Prescription Coordination
A common hurdle in VA community care psychiatric services is the pharmacy transition. While a community psychiatrist writes the prescription, the VA must often fulfill it to ensure it is covered under your benefits. Our team assists you in coordinating with the VA Pharmacy to prevent out-of-pocket costs and delays in medication.
Psychiatric Care FAQ
Will the VA pay for my medications if I see a private psychiatrist?
Yes, as long as the provider is an authorized CCN member and the medication is on the VA National Formulary. Prescriptions are typically sent to the VA pharmacy for fulfillment.
How do I request a referral for psychiatry specifically?
Ask your VA Primary Care Provider (PCP) for a "Community Care Psychiatry Consultation." Ensure you specify Resilience Georgia as your provider to avoid being assigned to a high-volume clinic.
Do you offer Tele-Psychiatry?
Yes. Many Veterans across Georgia utilize our secure telehealth platform for psychiatric check-ups and medication adjustments from home.
